A SOmnambulistic Marriage.

Abigail Stark, says the Toledo Blade,
young, prepossessing girl OF the fifth
ward, is somnambulist. She has
been known to walk a distance of two
miles at stretch without waking up.
Miss Stark was courted by young
man from the third ward, John Der
by, a likely fellow, but for some rea-
son he and the old folks could not
get along together. One night. re.
Gently, while John and Abigail were
returning from a party, John pro.
posed that they should get married
without further delay. She asked till
the following evening to consider the
proposition. After he had left his
sweetheart, he went to visit a friend
and returning at late hour met his
Abigail. He asked her if she had
really determined to marry him that
night and she replied "yes'' in the most
endearlng. terms. Late as the hour
was they hurried to q minister's and
with his wife for witness, the knot
WAS tied. Abigail answered all oues-
tions properly, and was apparently
as happy as John oyer the result.
She had not withdrawn her veil dur
ing the ceremony, nor had John in
raptures thought of asking her to do
so. They decided that she should
return to her aunt's house
and remain there for day or
two when they should go into their own
home. The following evening he was
again by her side. His first words
were: my wife now, in spite of every
one" She looked at him as though
she thought him crazy. "Your wife,"
she exclaimed, II have not accepted
your proposition yet. You presume
too much, sir" He showed her the
certificate and then it all came back
to her. She said she mad gone to her
room after leaving him, and being
very tired had lain down on the bed
without undressing. The circum.
stances OF the marriage had all come
to her as dream, and when she arose
that morning she had not given the
matter a second thought. But now
that he had recalled the marriage,
she remembered all the details, and
the result was that she determined to
stand by her words.

Captured by q PennileSS Girl.


Some years ago Miss Anna Long
streth was beautiful, penniless girl,
and worked in the Philadelphia Mint.
One day, party OF sight-seers came
through and stopped to mop their
brows, for it was July, in the adjust
ing-room. This department of the
place is, in the warm months, simply
"Black Hole of Calcutta on small
scale, and the poor women and girls;
who toll there sometimes till late at
night, fall down and faint, and are
dragged out to revive by the dozen.
In the party that stopped near Miss
I4ongstreth were Lord Bement, who
owned, and still owns, extensive land
ed interests in the West, and his COM
panion, Captain Jasper Richardson,
R. N, a gallant young blade with an
income of seventy-five thousand
dollars year. The young

captain Richardson fell so desperately
in love with Miss Longstreth, so COM
passionated her condition in the ter
flDle neat OF the room from which, dur
ing most of the working hours, all air
and draught were necessarily
excluded, that he concluded to
marry her out OF hand if she
would have him. And his friend, Lord
Bement, did his best to help him.
They succeeded in persuading Miss
Longstreth's parents, who had been
rich and then were very poor, of the
genuineness Of Captain Richardson's
affection. and the wedding took place.
Her life in London has not thrown
Mrs. Richardson much with other fair
Americans. She has become one of
her husbands family, and met with
much favor at court. She is described
as q perfect beauty, brunette, tall,
voluptuous, with q great coil of black
hair on her neck, and her bosom as
open as court rules prescribe even in
London.-San Francisco Argonaut.

How to Dust q Room.

The proper way to dust a room,
says a writer in the New York Mail
and Express, is to begin with the walls.
PIN several thicknesses of cloth over
a broom and sweep the walls down
thoroughly, leaving at the same time
all the doors and windows open. This
matter OF sweeping the walls is i'm.
portant and should be done once q
week III rooms that are much used.
Then with damp cloth wipe off the
picture cords and wires, the backs of
all the picture-frames, and the tops
OF the door and window frames. If
there is any danger of injuring pict.
ures or frames with a damp cloth
use day one, but wipe them all
off carefully. AS often as you can get
a good draft which will carry away the
dust out of the window, shake and
beat the curtains, whether they be
Holland, lace, scrim, or what not, for
they are prime sinners in the mat.
ter OF harboring dust. The window
sash, sill, and glass-should also re-
celve attention. Use a large cloth,
WIN nail OF IL Well dampened for dust
ing. the dry end being useful to wipe
off small articles that might be injured
by dampness-and be careful that
you manipulate the cloth so as to
wipe the dust into it and keep it there.
If it gets dirty have a clean one, and
always wash them out and scald them
after using. If there are inside shut
ters to the windows they need to be
cared for almost as tenderly as a. ba-
by. A thorough cleaning every week,
carefully wiping both upper and under
sides OF the Stats, is the only thing
that will keep them in decent order.
A room is not thoroughly busted until
all the furniture and woodwork and
gas fixtures have been cleaned with the
damp buster. Upholstered furniture
should be taken out, brushed all over
and then wiped with the damp cloth,
not forgetting the under side.

Dogs In Bavaria.

Bavaria has succeeded in doing what
no other country has yet been able to ac-
compllsh: she has practically stamped
out hydrophobia. During the last seven
years there have been only three deaths
OF human beings from hydrophobia in a
population numbering close upon 6,OOO,-
0O0; and since 1876, when the present
severe dog laws came into operation.
there has never been more than one death
in year. Previously to that time deaths
were very frequent. Between 1868 and
1875 the death rate from hydrophobla III
Bavaria was never less than fourteen in a
year. and once ii reached the high per-
centa,ye of thirty y-one. The regulations
which have banished this terrible malad.
from whole kingdom are very minute,
and perhaps some lutte vexatious: but 1t
is assuredly worth while to take little
trouble for SO desirable an end.
Every dog in the country is bound,
upon pain of instant death, to bear upon
his collar m.tal tally. upon which is in
scrIbed his number upon the register OF
his district. The color and shape Of this
tally, which is really the dogs passport,
are changed every year, and the police
are thus able to Sec at glance if dog is
lin order" Once a month all dogs have
to be examined by a veterinary surgeon,
and if they are not IN good health they
are detained in a kind of dogs hospital
until they recover. If an animal changes
hands. the transfer must be at once not
fed to the police, ami any breach Of the
regulations-even a delay of a few days
in the payment of the tax-is visited by
4 heavy fine. The tax varies from three
shillings year in the country districts to
fifteen shiliings in the large towns.-St-
James Blu lget.
